The paradox of how children regularly learn highly complex natural languages upon limited exposure to simple data lies at the center of any study of language acquisition. This book explores a new and important hypothesis for how young children might be able to learn a language from very simple sentences. The Bracketed Input Hypothesis suggests that children may receive information from their input about how the words of sentences group together to form the basic phrases from which sentences are...

Spoken Language Comprehension is the first coherent presentation of an original detailed experimental and theoretical account of what are rationally taken to be "online" processing deficits that lie at the core of aphasic miscomprehension. It presents exciting work that is highly relevant to the important current debate about the nature of aphasic comprehension impairment and its relationship to models of normal functioning. Lorraine K. Tyler focuses on a crucial but neglected aspect...

In this provocative study, John Mendeloff shows that federal programs which set standards for toxic substances have twin dilemmas.The new standards that they establish are usually too strict and costly to justify the benefits they confer. But, at the same time, the slow pace of standard-setting means that many serious hazards are never addressed at all. Mendeloff argues that more extensive, but less strict, rulemaking could make both industry and workers better off and that changes in...

When urban renewal got under way in the early 1950s, it meant to the man in the street (or the man down the street from a renewal project) the demolition of buildings and the dispersal of neighborhoods. Even when the approach and emphasis changed several years later to rehabilitation _ the conserving of neighborhood character by restoring buildings and leaving the population intact _ the planning authorities were still regarded with hostility and suspicion.

Knowledge-Based Tutoring describes the advantages and difficulties of adapting an expert system for use in teaching and problem solving. In this case the well-known rule-based expert system, MYCIN, which has been widely used in medical artificial intelligence to do infectious disease diagnosis and therapy selection, is used as a base for the instructional program GUIDON. MYCIN's rules are interpreted by GUIDON in order to evaluate a student's problem solving and provide assistance as the...

The structure and reform of the US tax system is one of today's most hotly debated issues. This book provides a clear description of where the system stands today and how it evolved. Most importantly, it outlines the principles by which a tax system should be designed and assesses current flat-tax and consumption-based proposals for tax reform in terms of whether they measure up to these principles. An introduction and summary provide an overview of the tax system, (including sources of revenue...

This volume analyzes, for the first time, the effects of cartel agreements on rates, tonnage shares, and profits of the major railroads East of the Mississippi River and North of the Ohio River from 1871 to 1899. Attention is centered on the consequences of regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission for the success of the cartel. After 1875 there was persistent cheating on rates set by the cartels until constraints were imposed on individual rate-setting by the Act to Regulate Commerce of...
